José Roberto Guimarães has changed the list of 14 players available for the match against South Korea this Thursday (16th), at 2pm, in the second round of the first week of the Nations League (VNL). The coach chose to change four players from the rookies list. Called up to the adult team for the first time, Helena was one of the choices this time and will be able to make her debut with the bell.

With the addition of Helena, Pri Daroit has been removed from the list of 14 players. The list of those excluded from the second match is completed by opponents Rosamaria and Lorenne, and the two-time Olympic champion Thaísa. Furthermore, the setters Macris and Roberta, the opposites Tainara and Kisy, the centrals Julia Kudiess, Diana, Carol and Luzia, the wings Gabi, Ana Cristina, Julia Bergmann and Helena, the liberos Nyeme and Natinha.

On their debut, Brazil was almost surprised by Brie King’s Canada, but the reserves changed the dynamics of the game and, aiming for the block, José Roberto Guimarães’ men managed to win the match 3 sets to 1. With the completion of the first this Wednesday (15th), Brazil occupies 6th place in the VNL.

Brazil is seeking an unprecedented Nations League (VNL) title in the last competition before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. In other editions, the team won three second places and last year was eliminated in the quarter-finals final against China. The first week of the VNL will be played in Rio de Janeiro and Antalya, Turkey.
